Chapter 38
There was silence in the willow forest.

Several villagers looked at Fang Yao when they heard the word "monster".

Fang Yaoquan pretended not to hear, yawned, pulled down the straw hat, and continued to sleep with her eyes closed.

Jiang Shi didn't care what the three Taoist priests said, but just patted the back of Fang Yao's hand lightly, "Second Sister, please sleep for a while, I will help you look at things."

Since the master didn't respond, everyone should do whatever they want.

Several Taoist priests ate steamed buns silently, and rested in the forest for more than an hour before getting up and leaving.

As soon as he got on the official road, the old Taoist priest spoke up.

"Junior Brother Jiang, don't say this casually outside in the future, not to mention that it will scare these ordinary people. We are not the only ones going to Liyang County this time. Zhengqingmen, if we fail this time, let's talk nonsense outside. , the face of the old master..."

Before the old Taoist could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a female Taoist coquettishly, "Brother, you think too much, those refugees know very well, even if the strange disease of Wang Yuanwai's mother is cured by others, they will not know .”

The young male Taoist also followed suit.

"Too……"

The elder Taoist thought for a while, and felt that he was indeed a little too cautious, so he shook his head and smiled.

In the willow forest.

Fang Yao slowly opened her eyes and woke up Li Fugui who was still snoring: "Patriarch, is Liyang County far from here?"

Li Fugui wiped the saliva flowing down his chin, squinted his eyes and said vaguely: "There are still sixty miles, master, should we go now?"

"No, let's rest a little longer and leave early tomorrow."

"That's fine, that's fine..."

Li Fugui continued to lie down again.

Fang Yao and the others slept until five o'clock. After eating something, everyone set off along the official road again.

The temperature was cool in the morning, and everyone walked quite comfortably.

Moreover, although the official road is made of rammed earth mixed with poured gravel, it is much smoother and easier to walk than the mountain road.

noon.

"Avoid! Idlers avoid—"

The sound of horseshoes came from far to near, and messengers on tall horses galloped past, kicking up countless dust.

"Bah, bah..." Li Fugui, who was not wearing a face scarf, took a mouthful of sand, turned his head and said to Fang Yao, "Master, not far ahead is the post station. After passing the post station, forty miles ahead is Liyang County."

Fang Yao nodded, squinting her eyes and looking forward.

This road leads to Liyang County and also leads to the north.

Before dawn in the morning, she deliberately wore a mask, and there was a clear black fog in the sky in the direction of Liyang County.

She decided to rush to Liyang County today. As for what to do when she got there, she didn't know what to do for the time being.

Let's take a step by step.

A quarter of an hour later, Fang Yao and the others arrived at the station.

A faded lantern was hung at the entrance of the post station, with the word "official post" written on it, and an elderly postman was sweeping the floor at the entrance.

On the wall of the courtyard outside, a notice saying "Seek medical treatment with a lot of money" was posted.

Fang Yao was originally curious about the post station, so she roughly scanned it, but with excellent eyesight, she just glanced at the three words "Wang Yuanwai" in the notice.

With a thought in her heart, she walked over quickly.

"Master, what does it say?"

The villagers followed, very curious.

The postman saw a group of shabby-dressed refugees coming over, and waved his broom nervously, "What are you doing, go away!"

The short A Wu Niang didn't squeeze in, she turned her head and akimbo and glared at the old postman: "We are big... everyone, what's wrong with this notice? Why don't people see it after posting it here?"

The postman glanced at them, "Do you understand? Don't come to join in the fun, the country folks, this is the royal commissioner..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the crowd make way for him, and the notice had already been removed.

"Let's go."

Fang Yao put away the notice and called everyone to leave.

"What's the matter, it was so noisy outside just now?" A drug boy came over and said dissatisfied, "It's not that my doctor hasn't had a good rest these days, so don't make too much noise even during the day."

The old postman quickly defended: "Just now a group of refugees took away the notice from Wang Yuanwai."

The drug boy clicked his tongue twice: "What's the use of the refugees revealing this notice, I'm afraid it's not for wiping their butts."

……

On the road.

The villagers chattered around Fang Yao.

Li Fugui also came over, "Master, what is written on it?"

Fang Yao didn't hide it from them, "Wang Yuanwai's family spent a lot of money to seek medical treatment. His old lady seems to have a strange disease. I think it's quite novel, so I'll take a look."

Li Fugui scratched his head wonderingly: "Master, didn't you say you don't know how to cure diseases?"

Fang Yao smiled and said nothing.

After walking forward for a while, Jiang took advantage of the fact that the villagers were not paying attention, grabbed Fang Yao, and whispered: "Second sister, are you thinking about what those Taoist priests said yesterday?"

Fang Yao nodded and said softly: "Sister, the notice said that as long as Mrs. Wang can be cured, you can get a hundred taels of silver."

Jiang Shi also seemed a little moved: "Second sister, are you sure about that?"

Fang Yao coughed and said truthfully, "Of course not."

Jiang Shi: "..."

"However..." Fang Yao pursed her lips and smiled, "Even if I have no choice, there is no loss."

Anyway, there will still be those few Taoist priests around at that time, so there is probably no danger, and maybe we can see how other people show their supernatural power.

If she is really asked to solve it, there will be a large reward.

100 taels, she can eat a lot of meat!
How could she miss this kind of empty-handed white wolf thing!

Jiang shi was dumb, but didn't say anything after that.

……

In the evening, the sunset glow dyed half of the sky.

Fang Yao and the others finally arrived in Liyang County before night fell.

There were a lot of people entering the city, forming a long queue, and many of them were ragged refugees like them.

"This... I'm afraid it's not easy to enter the city?"

Jiang Shi led Dabao and Xiaomei and walked beside Fang Yao, with a worried expression on his face.

Fang Yao had noticed before that under the rammed earth city wall less than five meters high, a lot of refugees had already gathered.

At times like this, it is inevitable that there will be turmoil in the city, and entering the city will be much stricter. There are garrisons and guards at the gate of the city, and most people who come out will come forward to ask.

Many refugees in front were driven out, holding dirty packages, looking for a place to live near the city wall with numb faces.

"Stop, no refugees are allowed in the city, go out."

Sure enough, when it was Fang Yao's turn, the guards started chasing them away with long guns without even asking what they were doing in the city.

"Hey, hey, why don't you let us in, we are not refugees!" A Wu Niang yelled anxiously, the guard was annoyed, and the spear swept over, and A Wu grabbed him all at once.

"Okay, some refugees want to make trouble—"

The guard shouted when he saw this, and several tall and burly soldiers came immediately.

Seeing that things were going to be messed up, Fang Yao protected the crying little girl with one hand, took out the notice in her hand with the other hand, and raised her voice: "Masters, don't get angry, we are here to treat the old lady of Wang Yuanwai's family! "

The guard glanced at her, her hair was unkempt, her body was in a mess, and a black veil was covered on her face, and said contemptuously, "It's just you? I'm afraid you went in to cheat for food and drink."

As soon as he finished speaking, the neighing of horses came from behind the crowd.

Everyone looked back and saw a two-male and four-bridle carriage with a purple gilt roof coming slowly.
